Weekly Weather Forecast.
jV. Issued by the United States weather
' ' er bureau at Washington, for the
week beginning Wednesday, July 7,
3915.
a For the South Atlantic and East
Gulf States:
Fair weather, with normal temperatures,
will prevail during the
. next four days, except that showers
are probable on the South Atlantic
coast. The weather will become unsettled,
with probable showers after
the tenth and continue until the close
of the week.
A town that is large enough and
good enough for a man to earn his
f*:, living in. is good enough for him to
buy his provisions in. If he does not
think so, both he and the town would
s be better off if his tent were pitched
on other prairies.?Yorkville Enquirer.
r,: " That is mighty straight talk, but
true. It looks to us like rank ingratitude
to make your money?your
liying?in a place and then spend it
elsewhere. , It is a practice that is all
too common.
The editor has received deadhead
advertising stuff enough of the Pacific
coast expositions to fill the pair
per, but not checks enough with it to
back up an order for two loaves of
f bread. And so the stuff goes into
EiV the waste basket.?Newberry ObEpv/
server. %
The exposition managements had
V money to'spend with the magazines
in advertising, but they dished out
the free stuff to the county newspapers.
Free plate was furnished, but
what pay was there for the space occupied?
From the appearance of our
exchanges, however, the management
made a good guess that free plate
matter would be inserted gratuitously.
And the editor of the Observer
must have overlooked a half page of

KAISER'S CORFU ESTATE.
.
One of the Most Beautiful Villas in
The World.
The kaiser, it will be recalled,
owns a vast estate on the island of
Corfu, the largest and most norther
ly of the Ionian lsianas, tying ou me
coast of Epirus. at the mouth of the
Adriatic. This island belongs to
Greece, and if that kingdom should
g, . enter the war on the side of the allies
the kaiser's villa and grounds at
Achilleion, five miles south of Corfu,
upon which many million marks have
been squandered, would become the
property of the Greek crown. The
villa, of marble, was erected in 189091
for the Empress Elizabeth, of
Austria, at a cost of $.">.000,000, and
has been greatly improved since coming
into Kaiser Wiihelm's possession,
in 1907. The building is in the Italian
Renaissance style, and at its back
are a peristyle and three terraces,
with a large number of statues. Upon
the broadest terrace is a fine "Dying
Achilles," by Herter. The park
descends toward the sea. in terraces.
*
and at a commanding site a small
temple has been raised over a seated
marble statue of the poet Heine, done
by the Danish sculptor, Hasselriis.
Decijrns fnr the charming villa were
the work of an Italian architect, Rafaelo
Cavito.
The latest rumors are that a Swiss
hotel corporation will purchase the
place and convert it into a resort.?

How to Tell.
"How can you tell a woman is
only shopping?"
"When they intend to buy they
ask to see something cheaper. When
they're shopping they ask if you
haven't something more expensive in
stock."

THE OUTLOOK.
By the Observer.'
Somebody has been missing :
mighty good chance to supply tin
Bamberg markets with canteloupes
watermelons and fresh vegetable
this spring and summer. It must b<
possible to raise these commoditie
very early here, for some of m:
acquaintances have had them al
along. Those Florida melons am
vegetables are not nearly so gooi
as those raised here at home. I be
lieve that the farmers should plan
of these things, with an idea of get
ting them on the local market earl;
enough to compete with the shippei
in articles. I am not much of a farm
er myself, and my "farm" is quite toi
small to raise things to sell on, bu
if I had a nice fertile farm as big a
some folks around Bamberg, I believ
I could raise melons and fruits an*
vegetables about as early in the sea
son as our Florida friends. W<
should not miss an opportunity t
make everything our people consum
right here at home, if it is possible.
By the way, I remember readini
last winter in The Herald that ou
lriend, M \ J. M. Grimes, had a youni
orange tree that had some nice frui
on it. I believe it was stated tha
thp trpp was raised out of doors, an<
was quite hardy. Now I always di<
feel that that Florida and California
climate was not much better thai
ours. If we can just add a fev
orange blossoms I ant sure ther
would not be a great amount of dif
ference.
There are very few of us who an
careful enough about jvhat we do an<
say. We have a thought to burst it
self upon our minds, and proceed t<
inflict it upon those who are patien
enough to listen. It'-has been sai<
that there is no limit to the capacit;
of the human mind. I believe thi:
is true, but so few of us make mud
j effort to develop our minds. We?
that is some of us, I happen to b<
| one who does not?take physical ex
j ercise to develop our bodies, and it i:
all very well. It should be done
I Used to do so myself until I got ou
of the habit. But who is it whi
gives the same attention to the great
est part of our being?our intellect'
I think that the average man wh<
is down and out is in that conditioi
because he does not use his thinkini
machine enough. If all of us though
seriously, even but for a small mo
ment, before we expressed an opin
ion, we would not be wrong so man:
times. And then we would not havi
to commit a second offence agains
ourselves in order to maintain oui
position.
We have a whole lot of laws 01
our statute books. .Most of them ar<
good, or have good intentions, bu:
are so utterly useless. I think t'ha'
it we nave a iaw u uugni iu ue cu
forced. If the people have noi
enough interest in the law to see tc
its enforcement, then I think it oughi
to be stricken from the statutes. Foi
disrespect or disregard of one law
breeds a contempt for all laws. Bui
one reason for this disregard foi
some laws is because of the fact thai
we have so many that very few 01
us know anything about half of them
Fact is I believe it would be beneficial
to the people for the legislatun
to remain out of session for severa
years. By that time, maybe, the su
preme court will have thinned oui
laws out to a stand. Our State legis
lators are good men and all that, anc
I would not utter a word of criticisn
against them, for I have no idea 1
could do half so well, but the fact remains
that a large portion of oxii
laws are useless because they are noi
constitutional. Reminds me of z
lawyer I used to know who made z
good income from appealing cases or
the ground that the law violated wa.?
not constitutional.
We hear a good deal hese dayabout
woman suffrage, "sufferage,"
as many enthusiastic members of th<
fair sex might term it. Ain't go
nothing to say about it in the wa;
of an opinion. Don't know rnucl
about it. and if I knew, don't knov
as I would say it. Water's too deep
Might say. however, that the womei
seem to have control of things toler
ably well anyway. They use thei
weapons pretty well, too. We don'
know a fractional p^rt of the infiu

A "BILLY SUNDAY" IN* JAPAN*.
I^ard Preaching in City of Tokyo by
Associated Ihess Correspondent.
An Associated Press dispatch from
'okyo, .Japan, says:
Close by the houses of parliament,
rithin which members were discussng
the question of China, there stood
. big tent, fronted and flanked by
nanv bright-colored Japanese banters.
Through the flaps came the
ound of a man's voice, pleasant, restnant
and powerful. The voice was
xhorting people to come to God and
>e 6avea.
The correspondent of the Associat:d
Press, who was on his way to the
)iet, stopped at the entrance of the
ent. A little group of smiling, wel:oming
Japanese were there.
"Who is that man speaking?" was
isked.
"Why. don't you know?" came the
inswer. "That's Kimura, the Billy
Sunday of Japan."
At the same moment the notes of
l Christian hymn sung in chorus fillid
the great tent and bursting with>ut
caused hundreds of passing peo>le
to stop, listen and inquire. They
vere informed that it was all part of
he great Christian evangelistic movenent
now under way throughout
fapan, and that Seiraatsu Kimura,
* 1?u-* -t
ne young revivalist kjl oaycm, mcuu
ind student of Dwight L. Moody, was
onducting the Tokyo meetings.
The picture was much the sanfe
is American revivalist meetings with
he added interest by the rich-colorid
flowing kimono, the black hair of ,
he Japanese women, the occasional
latter of the woodfcn shoe, and the
nanv-hued Japanese decorations.
The music ceased. Then a Japalese
with regular handsome features,
nedium in height, rather stockily
milt, dressed in European clothes,
tepped forward from his co-workers
m the platform and began to talk
n Japanese. He began quietly, but
oon his voice rose and his face
hanged as becoming more impasioned
he discoursed eagerly upon
he theme of salvation. Leaning forward
and shooting out a clenched
1st before him, the evangelist cried
o the men: "You students in ToCyo,
sitting there on your Webster
lictionaries, you think you are fine
;nd mighty indeed. You think how
nuch better you are than other peoile;
but, I ask, have you found"the
ove of Jesus Christ?"
Hammering Home Truths.
Then turning to the young ladies
ie shouted: "You, with your pretty
imonos and pretty faces?think
ou, perhaps, that you are saved by
hese things alone? Prepare yourelf
ere it is too late. Come into the
:ingdom of Jesus Christ and be savd."
Then he went on hammering
r>mo truths\tn the different sections
f his audiences, gesticulating vioently
at times, moving nervously
ack and forth upon the platform,
umping up and down, crouching to
lis knees, and especially using his
ronderful black eyes, and his excessive
face to bring home the
hought he was trying to communiate.
Suddenly he flung his right arm
pward towards a sign which rested
hove the platform and read it both
i Japanese and English. ' <
"Christ for the Citizens of Tokyo!
'he Citizens of Tokio for Christ!"
Harken to the words, my brothers,
larken to the words, my brothers i
nd sisters. .My aim is to convert
o Christianity every one of the 60,- i
00,000 souls in Japan today, I be- i
ieve in sudden conversions. Come ]
ere now, and give me your hand as
n emblem that you have accepted
he faith."
A number of people walked up to <
he revivalist and accepted Christian:v.
Then there was more music and ]
he correspondent was introduced to
he Sankey of the Tokyo revivalist i
lovement, He'is catted "Vio" Sakai. i
eoause he loves the violin and as 1
ankey was singer for Moody so Sa- ]
ai is the player for Kimura. \
The following day the correspondnt
was told by the revivalist him- ?
elf something of his life and some i
hing of his hopes for the future. i
Seimatsu Kimura. who is known i
y his American friends as Henry Ki- ]
aura, was born in Japan about 40
ears ago. "I was the son of a wine i
eller," he said, "and when I was a
ov of 16 1 was kicked out of my
ouse. I sold newspapers to earn ]
nough to eat. At the age of 16 I
ias converted to Christianity and ,
omehow. since then, life has gone
n happily and fruitfully. T think,
s I told Dwight L. Moody one day,
hat it is a case of Philippians 4-19.

WOMAN* COMMITS SUICIDE.
Mis* Carrie West, of Spartanburg,
Hangs Herself.
Spartanburg, July 1.?Miss Carrie
West, aged 40, a well-known lady of
the city, committed suicide this afternoon
by hanging herself with a
rope in a closet in her home. The
discovery was brought about by a
little negro girl, who was in the
house, and who called in Miss West's
brother-in-law. A physician was immediately
called. At the coroner's
inquest tonight it was brought out
that the deceased was alone at the
time. She had been dead over an
hour at the time of the discovery.
The physician stated at the inquest
that he. as family physician, had
treated the deceased for several
years and that her health had been
bad. About eighteen months ago
3he attempted to take her own life
hv rnttinc her throat. The deceased
was a sister of Charles D. West, assistant
postmaster here. Five other
brothers and one sister also survive.
Pa's Temptation.
"Pa, with all his money, will never
let us take our rightful place in society."
"Why, he's most indulgent. He
has just bought the family a magnificent
automobile."
"Yes, but unless we watch him all
the time he can't resigt the temptation
to take on a few paying passengers
as he rides around."?Louisville
Courier-Journal.
to win souls. Dwight L. Moody was
holding revival meetings in South
California and so big were the crowds
that I had a hard time trying to hear
him. But I said to the big policeman
at the door: 'Look here, Mr.
Policeman, I have come 5,000 miles
L T? on/1 VA11 milflt
get me in.'
"That was how I first met Mr.
Moody. I stayed close by him and
when he left for the North it was I
who carried his satchel. Mr. Moody
was astounded to find me following
him to the train, and was more
astounded when I told him that
I was going with him. I told the
great preacher that I wanted to become
an evangelist. I asked him
what school I should go to. I said
I had asked two people and they had
given me different advices. Mr.
Moody said: 'If you ask five people
you will have five different advices.
There is only one being who can advise
you truly and that is God!' And
I said to Mr. Moody at once: 'It's
all decided, I'm going to the Moody
institute at Chicago.' "
Mr. Kimura was getting interested
in his reminiscences and was punctuating
his story with some of his expressive
gestures.
"Mr. Moody looked up at me and
said: 'Young man, how much money
have you got?' I answered, 'Mr.
Moody, I have got 35 cents.' The
great evangelist looked me over with
a good deal of astonishment. 'Well,'
he ejaculated, 'how do you ever expect
to study two years in Chicago
on 35 cents?' And I said quickly:
'Mr. Moody?Philippians 4-19.'
Scholarship Awaiting Him.
"Mr. Moody smiled broadly and he
sang out to one of his followers:
'Please remember tnis young man.
He is going to Chicago to study.'
When I got to Chicago I found a
scholarship awaiting me."
Mr. Kimura came back to Japan
and proceeded to have six years of
evangelistic work with the Japanese
people. There were only thirty-five
members when he started, but there
were three hundred when he finished.
Then he resigned to take up bigger
evangelistic work and in June, 1914,
he went to the United States, stopping
at Honolulu long enough to convert
over a thousand Japanese to
Christianity. "There is one thing
that I have learned from you Yankees,
you Americans," declared Mr.
Kimura. as a pleasant aside, "and
that is your 'sticktuitiveness.' "
It was in Denver that Kimura first
saw. Billy Sunday. "It was the first
time in 25 years that I had such an
experience," he said. "I wept six
times in one hour on hearing him."
He joined Sunday's meetings at Des
Moines and during three weeks attended
over'50 meetings.
Kimura came back to Japan in
April of this year and began to take
part in the great evangelistic campaign.
He has been talking to big
nnA ai'aiT u-oot- fnr the next
year and a half is filled with engagements.
When he preaches he often
uses a blackboard upon which he
writes in Japanese or Chinese characters
the texts of his sermons. This
method, he said, made things much
clearer to everybody. Sometimes,
when his voice fails, he uses a megaphone.
He found that preaching two
or three times a day in the vigorous
manner he uses was very tiring, so
he goes to bed every afternoon to prepare
for the evening sermon. "1
try to make things as simple as possible
for everybody," he said, "and I
think nobody ever goes to sleep when
I'm preaching. Especially, I'm afterj
the backsliders. I'm after them all,
?very one of the 60,000,000 people." I
